"Here Comes Summer" was a 1958 song, which was written and performed by Jerry Keller. The song was released on Kapp Records in the United States and London Records in the United Kingdom.
In 1959 it spent 13 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching No. 14, while spending one week at No. 1 on the UK's New Musical Express chart, and reaching No. 8 on Norway's VG-lista, and No. 4 on Canada's CHUM Hit Parade. It was Keller's only hit either side of the Atlantic.
It was also recorded by Cliff Richard And The Shadows and, with different, lyrics by The Dave Clark Five in 1970, but was not as commercially successful. The pop band Child released the song as a single in 1979, again with different lyrics from Keller's original, but it also failed to enter the UK Chart.
